a) What is one thing in this reading that surprised you or was new to you? Give some details
about why
The theory that viruses have been around since the beginning of life was surprising. It makes
sense considering that a lot of viruses are RNA based and

a) Explain one piece of evidence based on epidemiology (the study of health and disease patterns
in populations)
One piece of evidence based on epidemiology is that many of the viruses were not seen until
towns were developed, and the Europeans brought

Cellular and Organismal Diversity
Key Concepts
- The cells in your body take on incredibly diverse shapes and functions even though the genetic
material in each one of them is the same.
- Diversity in cellular and organismal phenotype across individuals o
